Star Wars films

It fills in the gaps left by the movies, and I love this type of animation.

Good movie but I had higher expectations.

This would have been a great movie if it didn't have the SW moniker on it. As a star wars movie it was adequete at best.

This was a very good movie, much better than it's predecessor. I loved the plot and felt that the love story and the action were blended together well.

Quite possibly the film that most effected the world. Not really but it is the one that started it all.

The worst of the original trillogy. This movie does have some very good points, but it just doesn't live up to Empire.

Easily the best of the Star Wars movies. I love the dark overtones and the fact that the good guys don't win in this one.

A great laugh fest. I suggest some heavy drinking before viewing.

It's good for what it was.

Found at both Tommorow Land (Disneyland) and MGM Studios (Disney World). This is one of the best rides in Disney. No kidding. You start out in line. Do not get a fast-pass. In WORLD, you get to go through Droid rooms, and all that fun stuff. A singing droid. The skeleton of the first Audio-animatronic. Egroeg Sacul.You will not want to miss this. Then you get in your Star-speeder. That's right, the same technology used for the military. You start out in liftoff. Oops, your captain, Rex, went the wrong way. Then he takes you on a ride to the Emperial Ship. Uh-oh. Anyway, I highly recomend this ride. Keep a look out for the Mighty Microscope, THX-1138, and a certain tag on Rex.

This is the video that goes with the ride.

Not very good, but it is related to the star wars universe.

First Assistant Director David Tomblin spend most of his days off and lunch breaks during the filming of "Return of the Jedi" (or 'Revenge of the Jedi' or 'Blue Harvest', if you will) on his own little 24 minute project, "Return of the Ewok". Eleven year old Warwick Davis inspired this fictional account of him landing the part of Wicket W. Warrick (omiting the fact that he was only picked from being a background character because Kenny Baker got ill). It features most of the film's stars (except Kenny) in costume, plus Roy Kinnear, and some sequences from the Battle of Endor filmed from a different angle (with Tomblin's personal 16mm camera).

In the film, young Warwick is looking for a job. After trying his tiny hands at weightlifting in David Prowse's London Gym and goalkeeping for his favorite soccer team, Chelsea, he passes a Cinema playing "The Empire Strikes Back". He can actually see the film being projected from outside the theater, and Mark Hamill back out of the theater 'for a breather'. Now Warwick decides to go into acting himself and finds a talent agent (an uncredited Kinnear) who offers him the part of 'Ewok' and sends him off to Elstree.

Dressed up in fur, 'Ewok' knocks on Harrison Ford's dressing room, who in turn asks Mark and Carrie (wearing the famous metal bikini) what an Ewok is. They tell him to join the creatures at Jabba's palace. There he finds David Tomblin choreographing a dance number, featuring two women only glimpsed amongst the crowd in the final film (one in a red catsuit and the other wearing a white wig with blue streaks). They move to the original version of Lapti Nek sung by Joseph Williams of Toto (and I always thought Lucas was kidding when he said that scene was always supposed to be longer).

Warwick stumbles onto the Death Star set where Boba Fett takes a shot at him (this is the only part of the film available on DVD, if you know where to find your Easter Eggs) and Darth Vader sitting on the Emperors' throne. Finally co-producer Robert Watts leads Willow-to-be towards Yoda, who issues the Youngling with a galactic passport to Endor (or to be more precise, California) He arrives just in time to find the other Ewoks and join in the battle. Warwick says goodbye to the Star Warriors on the spot where they took their promotional group shots and walks off to his parents, who also happen to be on Endor apparently.

For many years this elaborate Home Movie remained just that, with the only VHS copy thought to belong to the Warwick family. Now known as The Leprechaun, Davis finally screened it at the first Star Wars Celebration (Denver, 1999), and subsequently has taken it with him around the world on conventions (I saw it at the Dutch Starcon on October 23, 1999). After Celebration II, a four minute edit was made available for Hyperspace subscribers on Starwars.com in may 2005. Soon after wards it won the Pioneer Award in the Official Star Wars Fan Film Awards, and of course bootleg copies have surfaced on the Internet. However, nobody knows what happened to the original 16 mm print, because everybody seems to have lost contact with David Tomblin. There is also a rumor that a 'sequel' was shot during production of the first Ewok movie, Caravan of Courage.

This is included on the special features DVD that is included on the four disc box-set of the original Star Wars Trillogy.

It's a great film that truly shows what it was like to make the films at the time, and what thye meant to people back then.

This is great. I only wish that they had made it longer and more fleshed out the plot and characters.

The least watched movie in Star Wars history, most people have never even heard of it.

Hilarious spoof.

Very, very funny.

Hilarious.

Hilarity.

Star War's spoof.

Very good Spoof.

I saw the episode, thought it was funny, and being such a fan of Family Guy, knew how much Seth McFarlane loved the Star Wars references. I knew it was only a matter of time before a full-on remake of the film was created.

Then, I saw that a full-length DVD was coming out with extended and added scenes. Yeah. You thought it was good on Cartoon Network. Nothing compares to Stewie's diaper going over to the Dark Side. There is so much more adult humor. Everything is uncensored, and uncut.

The DVD extras include excellent commentary with Seth McFarlane, David A. Goodman, and Dominic Polcino (the episode director). My suggestion is to watch it once without the commentary, and once with. There's a fantastic interview with George Lucas, and a look into how (and why) Blue Harvest was made. I had no idea just how much of the original film was actually used. Direct quotes from Star Wars, scenes taken directly from the film, even 95% of the score is the original score with short edits and the Family Guy adaptation from Walter Murphy. The detail of the animation, right down to the explosions that look like effects taken directly from Star Wars (but aren't), was all done so well. George Lucas should be proud.

Seth McFarlane and his team put a great deal of effort into making this a quality and hysterical revamp of a Lucas classic. You can't get the full experience until you see it on DVD, though. Seth, you're a freaking genius.

"Remember how people talked about the Star Wars prequels like they were the worst movies ever made, when really, come on, they weren't THAT bad? The Clone Wars actually IS that bad."
